Scotland Adventure: June 2011
http://erinandshorty.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, 30 June 2011. This is the definition of a Highland Midge (known as midgies in Scotland) from wikipedia- a species of small flying insect, found in upland and lowland areas especially in the north west of Scotland from late spring to late summer. Female Highland midges are well known for gathering in clouds and biting humans, and are the smallest flies in Scotland to do so. They are generally regarded as pests. It made for a miserable day. Unfortunately we didn't know then what we know now, how ...

Scotland Adventure: May 2011
http://erinandshorty.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, 12 May 2011. We got to experience our first Highlander Games this past Sunday. The games consisted of competitions in Scottish dance, pipes and drums, and the fan favorite heavy events including the stone put, the weight throw, and the caber toss. Where else can you see an extremely muscular 300 pound man wearing a kilt tossing a 56 pound weight over a 13 foot high bar using one hand? By the way, we witnessed one contestant break a Scottish record in this event (16'5"). Looks silly in a kilt?

Scotland Adventure: #1 Hospitality
http://erinandshorty.blogspot.com/2011/03/1-hospitality.html
Tuesday, 15 March 2011. We have found this friendliness everywhere, even while riding the bus. It is an unwritten rule that every passenger tells the bus driver thank you or cheers before stepping off. We chose this as our number one because it alone has made this adventure worth it. 15 April 2011 at 19:12. Just noting that its been a month since you had an entry. Find some time during a rainstorm or something to update us on how things are going. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 3 Well behaved dogs.

Bodine Island: 2013 Sept Quebec-Maine
http://bodinefamily.blogspot.com/2013/09/weve-been-in-quebec-day-and-half-and.html
Thursday, September 05, 2013. We've been in Quebec a day and a half and seem to have walked miles - around the Citadel, through Bas Ancien Quebec down by the St Lawrence River, across the Fields of Abraham (the old battlefield),. Tomorrow we'll drive out to the big waterfall northeast of the city and probably explore the broader area a bit, and then Friday we head for Baxter State Park. It'll be quite a contrast going from our B&B to a campsite, and we heard it'll be pretty cold, but our new tent sho...

halcyon days of a late bloomer: This is just to say
http://dayin-dayout.blogspot.com/2014/05/this-is-just-to-say.html
Halcyon days of a late bloomer. Saturday, May 03, 2014. This is just to say. I came across this while cleaning out old papers. About 5 years ago NPR had a "This is just to say" submission week to honor an anniversary for the William Carlos Williams poem. This is just to say. It is never the changes you want that change everything. Your words filled up my life like smoke. Four years, Ive been fighting to breathe. And now.clean air is almost as suffocating.

halcyon days of a late bloomer: May 2014
http://dayin-dayout.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Halcyon days of a late bloomer. Saturday, May 24, 2014. Im sitting in my apartment right now, watching a cotton candy sunset. My beautiful, quiet apartment. I love this apartment. Whats not in this apartment:. Loud noises (unless I choose it), a dirty man, dirty children, diapers, chaos, legos, stinky socks, trimmed beard hairs in the sink. You get my point. Everything in here was chosen by me, placed by me, maintained by me. This place is clean, organized and peaceful. How can I complain? Your words fil...
